Trends in Incidences and Survival Rates in Pediatric In-Hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Korean Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT: Background Although the outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is still unsatisfactory, there are few studies about temporal trends of in-hospital CPR incidence and mortality. We aimed to evaluate nationwide trends of in-hospital CPR incidence and its associated risk factors and mortality in pediatric patients using a database of the Korean National Health Insurance between 2012 and 2018. Methods and Results We excluded neonates and neonatal intensive care unit admissions. Incidence of in-hospital pediatric CPR was 0.58 per 1000 admissions (3165 CPR/5 429 471 admissions), and the associated mortality was 50.4%. Change in CPR incidence according to year was not significant in an adjusted analysis (P=0.234). However, CPR mortality increased significantly by 6.6% every year in
